Tadpole identification?

[Bill B]

Crystal, How did you find it? I looked desparately in a wetland where bunches of Sping Peeper were calling here in Michigan, but found none. Are you warm to breed earlier there in Maine? I think our season started about the second week in April

I didn't actually, someone gave it to me.

But I did find one in a ditch along a railroad track once. (Or more like... several eggs that led to hundreds of tadpoles...)

I'm not sure about the temperature. It seems like the second the snow is gone we have frogs up here. (I've also seen tadpoles in lakes and even deep* puddles.)

When did your ponds lose their ice? The peepers started calling almost immediately after around here, and that was early April. They just stopped calling about a week or week and a half ago in that wetland where I looked.

Ask that person how he or she found them!
